Rental history
This is a very important factor considered for approval. We will contact your current and past landlords for the last 2 years to verify their experience with you as a tenant. Questions that will be asked include:
- What are your Move-in and Move-out dates
- How many times was your rent paid late
- Did you cause any damage to the property
- Did you have any pets
- Would your landlord rent to you again
- Did you give a 30-day notice to move
- Did or does the landlord plan to return their full security deposit
Income and employment history
We want to make sure that you have income to support paying the rent for the duration of your lease and have a stable employment history.
In order to verify the information you provided to us, we will contact your current employer and ask questions such as:
- What is your job title
- What is the date of hire
- What is your current salary
- Are there any anticipated changes in salary over the next 12 months
- What is the likelihood of continued employment
- An applicant must make a minimum of 3 times the monthly rent. If two applicants are roommates (not related) then each applicant must make a minimum of 3 times the monthly rent.
For self-employed applicants (business owners, freelancers, or “gig economy” workers paid via 1099 rather than W-2), income is calculated based on what they report to the IRS. Applicants must provide:
- Most recent 2 years of tax returns (business and/or personal returns).
- A year-to-date Profit and Loss (P&L) statement, verified by a CPA or accountant is preferred.
- The last 3 months of business bank statements show consistent deposits/income.
Credit history
Credit scores of 550 or higher meet our standard qualifications. Scores between 500 and 549 may be considered with additional security deposit but are subject to review by management. Here, we are reviewing your payment history, checking for judgements, collections, foreclosures and short sales. If you have any questions regarding your credit history, please reach out to our property manager for help.

Prorated rent
Rent for the month that you move-in will be prorated so you only are paying for the days you move-in. If your move-in date is on the 20th of the month or later, in order to move-in, the rent for the following month will be due prior to move-in along with the prorated rent for the month you move-in.

The guarantor must complete an application and pass our tenant screening criteria after deducting the guarantor’s own housing costs before comparing his/her income to our income criteria.

An application is automatically declined if you have an eviction within the last 7 years, owe money to any landlord, have an undischarged bankruptcy, engage in the use, distribution, or sale of illegal drugs, or have a felony conviction related to harm to a person or property within the last 7 years.
How does get MULTIfamily check rental history?
get MULTIfamily contacts your current and past landlords for the last 2 years. They ask about your move-in and move-out dates, how often rent was paid late, any damage to the property, whether you had pets, whether you gave a 30-day notice, whether your deposit was returned, and whether the landlord would rent to you again.
How much is the security deposit?
In most cases the security deposit is equal to one month's rent. An additional security deposit of up to 1.5 times the monthly rent may be required to offset risk factors found in an applicant's rental, employment, or credit history.
How is my first month's rent prorated?
Rent for your move-in month is prorated, so you only pay for the days from your move-in date. If your move-in date is on the 20th or later, the following month's rent is also due before move-in, along with the prorated rent for the move-in month.
Can I have a guarantor if I do not meet the criteria?
Yes. If you do not meet one or more of the screening criteria, a third party may guarantee your lease. The guarantor must complete an application and pass the screening criteria after their own housing costs are deducted before their income is compared to the income requirement.
What is the occupancy limit?
The occupancy limit is no more than 2 people per bedroom, unless local fire safety codes are more restrictive.
Do I need to screen my pet before applying?
If pets are allowed at a listed property, you must have your pet screened through PetScreening.com. You can find full details on the Pet Policy page.
